A MONKEY, NOT A DUDE.
Some Sensible Advice as to the
Choice of a Husband.

The Womans Home Journal gives
the following sensible advice: Girls,
don't marry a man for money, position
or anything but love. Don't do it, if
you want to live to q good old age and
be happy. You may think that money
can bring youall you desire, but it can't
That is where you are mistaken. It
can buy good many things, but it can
never purchase contentment for your
heart or happpiness for your soul. 1t
may bring temporary smiles to your
face, but it will leave great shadows in
your heart.
Don't think that I would advise you
to marry worthless fellow just because
you imagine you love him. A refined,
good. intelligent woman should never
marry a vulgar, ill-bred man. No, no,
never unite yourself to any one who is
not man in the truest meaning of the
word. Neither would | advise a woman
to marry a man who had no visible
means of supporting her, but for Heav-
ems sake don't marry millionaire or
a king if you don't love him. It will
not do. People have tried it time and
again only to find it miserable failure.

in gilded halls, and be lost in the giddy
rounds of pleasure, but time will come
when these things will be a hollow
mockery to you. There will be an
&c aching void the world can never
fill.
Sometimes mothers are to blame for
the unhappiness of their daughters.
They teach them that respect for their
husbands and lots of Doodle " are in
finitely to be preferred to that foolish
ness called love. That would do very
well if life had no waves of trouble,
but it takes something more than simple
respect to make two hearts cling to-
gether in the hour of adversity. A
woman who turns her back on wealth
and takes the man of her choice may
miss some of the luxuries of life. but
she will be happy.
Don't marry dude. Better get YOU
a monkey. 1t is cheaper and great
deal nicer. Don't fool with that class
of animals. They generally wear $40
hat over a ten cent brain, and the
woman who takes one of these chaps
will get left about as bad as the South
ern Confederacy did at Appomatax.

In it's issues Of the 18th and 10th the
Richmond WhiJ devotes three columns to
the editorial discussion of the pamphlets
lately Issued by the Hon. Edwards Pierre.
pont on the demonetizatlon OF silver, The
articles in the IVhig are replete with sound
reasons In favor OF bimetalism, and yet the
Wig is an ardent supporter Of Mr.. Cleye-
land in the presidency, while he is a pro-
nounced monometalist.
From what the Wig says we extract the
following closing remarks, which contain
avery severe arraignment Of the policy Of
this administration
For centuries the value of comm )dlties had
been measured by a currency composed of
both gold and silver, aud when, commencing
in 1873. all the nations of Christendom began
to Danish silver from their currency, aud thus
diminish the measure OF values so largely.
England soon found that her land rents wera
falling; that trade had become depressed, and
she finds no improvement whatever yet. 1t is
safe to say that she will not find 1t until the
old measure of values Is restorel l. II wolld
clearly be far better for the Christian natlol-
10 negotiate q convention by which the mint
ratio Of gold to silver should be the same in all
England alone stops the way; all the other
nations are ready to unite. It would he TO-
the interest of the United States to have such
convention, but IL England prevents 1t the
next best thing for the United states, seeing
she can exclude foreign silver from her mlntS
as easily as she can exclude foreign coppe
hom her markets, is to give free coinage of her
own silver Dro1uct-gold coinage being ALREADY
fIee-oirculate both by notes like the Bank Of
England notes, and try conclusions with E1g
land in the race for riches aud empire. Thu
the holder of every note would be absolutely
secured by ametal deposit payable on demand,
the government would issue no more interest
bearing bonds in order to make a basis for ma.
tional currency, there would soon be no paper
money not secured by gold or silver, dollar for
dollar. The only necessity for circulating
notes at all would be the convenience.
The gold and silver now in the country,
and yearly coming from the mines and from
other sources, would be ample, and under the
system Of free coinage no more would be mined
than 1t was found profitable to mine, and the
currency could only expand as the gold and
silver increased, and the past history of the
world demonstrates that currency composed
of gold and silver will not become redundant.
II is superb lous to add that no unhealthy in.
fation coul possibly arise from the issues OF
notes secured by an edual deposit of Oullion or
coin.
If an international treaty can be made there
will be no need of restricting the silver coiu-
age to the American product, but while the
other nations refuse free coinage to silver there
is danger that our mints would be flooded ifw
alone allowed 1t to be coined free.

A Sugar Trust.

A ''sugar trustn has been formed which
has already among its members all the large
sugar refineres In the United States, except
possibly half dozen. This "sugar trust"
formed to control and regulate the out
put and price of sugar, prevent competition,
and thus make the consumers pay whatever
price the producers may choose to ask.
One Of the members Of this spool" said
that the object OF its formation was to
make sugar refining profitable; that to do
this II would only be necessary to advance
the price one-quarter Of cent per pound,
and that the consumers would not feel this
slight advance.
AS the people OF the United States last
year used 3,40o, 100000 pounds of sugar, an
advance Of one-quarter of cent would be
an additional expenditure Of So SOC, 900 for
sugar. 1t means an average of IA cents ad
ditional tax levied upon every living human
being In the United States for the benefit OF
the members Of this "sugar trust"
The duty is an iniqulty, it is "a tariff for
revenue,n and the country does not need
the revenue, and now the formation of this
"pool'-this "sugar trust" to levy tax OF
millions on the people-is an additional rea-
son why 1t should be abolished, and as com.
petition Is to be destroyed here, that OF
Germany and France should be permitted
If, as suggested, the sugar planters send
lobby here, that "lobby" should be mer
with mere statement of the existing facts
They answer all demands for continuance
of the duty on sugar. And II the suggested
''lobby" comes here with "sugar' or ''soap"
the members Of Congress will be sweeter
and cleaner not to touch either.

One Result of ProtaotIon.

No other manufacturing industry has
Of eilk fabrics. The data is not available
TO show the full expansion Of the industry,
but what is attainable shows that protec-
tion has added new industry to the
country, which employs thousands Of peo-
pie, millions Of money, and at the same
times gives to the consumers the manufac-
tured fasric at a much cheaper late than
ufacturers for supplies.
For the four years previous to 1873 the
importations of raw silk averaged about
$5,000,000 per annum. In 1881 these i'm.
portations OF raw material were increased
to nearly $ll 100000, and in 1856 over Sl9,
100000. Large silk factories have been
built up during the last five years, aud
those well managed have been profitable to
their owners. The latest calculations aai
estimates Of the present production OF lln-
ished silks in the United States put the
values at about 500, 100000, with $3O,00O,0 900
employed as capital aud &c, 900 mill hanis
Nearly three-ffths Of the product is board
goods and ribbons, one-fifth sewing silk
and twist, and the balance trimmings anl
mixtures.
New Jersey has been called the France OF
America because 1t contains one-half the
silk manufacturing establishments of the
country, and in the report Of its labor bu
reau for the last year we find that 1916
looms were operated, and the production
amounted to over $2S 100000. This sum
would have been largely increased had not
work been suspended at many OF the mills
for period Of sixty to ninety days on ac-
count of protracted strike of the dyers and
some minor labor disturbances.
The introduction OF what is known as
the Grant system Of reeling tram and organ
zine has effected a saving in cost of labor
OF soft winding silk of from go per pound
to .12. One result of this improvement is
that large number Of hands are trans.
ferred to the weaving department, thus add
ing largely to the production.
1t twould seem with the fact that silks Of all
classes are now fully 80 per cent. cheaper
than when we were dependant upon manu-.
facturers, and the additional fact that $780,
100000 capital is employed-that 10000
people, mostly women, are engaged In
manufacturing these silks-that thousands
OF women and children throughout the
country are now producing, without al
most any labor, quantities OF cocoons, and
that this industry is increasing more rapidly
than almost any other would induce oul
free-trade tariff-reform friends, who are no,
even aware OF the fact that there was duty
of so per cent. on silk goods, having beer
informed of the fact, to allow this duty tc
remain as 1t is.

THE Philadelphia Record prints the 70

THE Philadelphia Record prints the fol.
lowing:
Steel rails were profitably made in this coun.
try during 1885 for s26 per ton. But the Bes-
semer monopolists, under cover of the Sl7
duty, have extorted for two years from s3s to
$40 ton for steel rails. Last year they divi-
ded, on production of 100000 tons OF
steel rails, at least $40, ,OO0,O 600 among fourteen
or tifleen members of the combination. over
and above the legitimate profits. That is
what the tariff does for one OF the protected
monopolies in this country.
Such rot, for there is no other suitable
name for 1t, comes with good grace from
paper which pretends to write about the
tariff and did not know there was duty on
silk. Probably the Record did not know
that previous to the enactment of the duty
on Bessemer steel rails and the establish
ment Of manufactures In this country the
railroad builders had to pay our English
and German friends from $l20 to $40 ton
for steel rails. The Record knows that its
statement, as to the division Of $50, 200, 900
amongst the manufacturers is absolutely
untrue. At least II 1t don't know that
much 1t should be furnished with a
guardian.
